Township Board passes moratorium on data centers, battery storage, large-scale solar and wind farm applications, Planning Commission minutes show
Summary
Meeting minutes from the Allendale Charter Township Planning Commission on June 15 report that the Township Board passed a moratorium on applications for data centers, battery storage facilities, large-scale solar farms and wind farm applications; the minutes do not specify the moratorium’s duration or legal scope.
The Allendale Charter Township Planning Commission recorded in its June 15 meeting minutes that the Township Board has passed a moratorium on applications for data centers, battery storage facilities, large-scale solar farms and wind farm applications.
The minutes note the moratorium in a Township Board report segment but do not identify who reported the action to the commission, nor do they include details such as the moratorium’s duration, geographic scope, or any exceptions. The record therefore does not clarify whether the moratorium affects pending applications, new submissions, or enforcement timelines.
No discussion or public comment about the moratorium appears in the meeting minutes. The planning commission’s role at this meeting was to record the board’s action; there is no vote by the planning commission on the moratorium reflected in the minutes.
The commission adjourned at 7:10 p.m.; the next meeting is scheduled for July 6, 2026.
